The new QuellTech Q5 Laser Scanner Series combines the advantages of small form factors with both high resolution and scan rate. The sensor disposes of different set-up possibilities with respect to the analysis algorithm. Measurement results are delivered via Ethernet, calibrated in the X / Z plane. Special adjustable algorithms can be selected, extremely useful particularly also for optically most demanding surfaces. Time-consuming calibration tasks for the user are no more required, as the calibration routine runs on board. High Scan Rate with up to 14,000 Profiles per Second Due to an appropriate limitation of the image range (AOI) in X and Z direction, the scan rate could considerably be increased. High resolution and detection frequency with up to 14.000 profiles and 28 Mio. points per second •X measuring range from 10 to 1022 mm •Z measuring range (height) from 5 to 878 mm •Laser wave length blue 405/450nm, red 650nm

Particular Challenges: In the course of the production, endless cables are running at a considerable speed, and supervision has to be carried out nearly under real-time conditions. The size of the objects to be determined, i.e. of the flaws to be discovered, is in the range of only some hundredths of a mm. Another difficulty is the fact that surfaces with very different reflectivity and roughness are involved. In order to be able to check the cables all around, several laser scanners must be in place, mounted at different angles, thus covering the entire range of 360°. Quelltech Solution: The solution consists in a configuration of four Q6 laser scanners, mutually displaced by 90°, so the entire surface of the cables is in the field of view. On the basis of the 100% inline inspection, the position of defects can precisely be determined, without losing too much time.

This TM1000 Chain inspection machine has been developed to automatically inspect timing chains. It measures the coordinates of chain pins from the top and bottom surfaces. The machine also measures and quantifies the posture of pins relative to the position. A calibration certificate can be generated.

Inspection of Surfaces 2D and 3D Regarding surface quality inspection for metal products such as cylinder head, gear tooth, it consumes a lot of time and human resources for the inspection. Since parts are inspected by bare eyes or slow speed inspection machines. With the inspection machine HE1000, inspection is much faster, more accurate and fully automated. In addition, there is a 3D laser sensor combined with our 2D inspection head to provide the most accurate result. This sensor is the first in the world to apply the Nobel Prize winning physics technology of optical frequency combs. It utilizes coaxial lasers and high precision range finders. There are some cases that our customers reduced over 90% of the inspection time. urthermore, if parts are inspected by humans, there might be different results by each person, because each of them has a different tendency and criterion.

Visual Inspection of Surfaces This SE1000 Visual inspection measuring machine has been developed to automatically inspect the appearance of dirt, scratches, and other imperfections on various kinds of surfaces of your product. This 2D inspection technology can be used in production lines and is suitable for all kinds of industries that want to improve quality, reduce human involvement in inspection and reduce inspection time. Leveraging this fast, precise inspection machine will help you to improve the quality of your product dramatically.

The new generation of Micro-Epsilon’s 3D sensors impresses with high accuracy during measurement and assessment of components and surfaces. The surfaceCONTROL and reflectCONTROL inspection systems from Micro-Epsilon are intended for matt and shiny surfaces respectively. The 3D snapshots are recorded in a short time and provide detailed 3D point clouds. These 3D sensors are used, e.g., for geometric component testing, position determination, presence checks and the measurement of flatness or planarity. Thanks to their high performance, the sensors are used for inline applications, on robots and also for offline inspection.
